Biden accuser Tara Reade 'lost total respect' for CNN's Anderson Cooper for not asking former VP about assault claim

CNN FINALLY COVERS LARRY KING CLIP IN WHICH BIDEN ACCUSER'S MOTHER PURPORTEDLY  ALLUDES TO DAUGHTER'S SEXUAL ASSAULT

Fox News   "EXCLUSIVE: The woman who has accused Joe Biden of a sexual assault in the early 1990s says she's disappointed that CNN anchor Anderson Cooper failed to ask the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee about the allegation when he had the chance -- not once, but twice.
"Tara Reade, a former staffer for then-Sen. Biden, told her story about the former vice president over a month ago with progressive podcast host Katie Halper. Since then, Biden has done nearly a dozen TV interviews with news anchors including NBC News' Chuck Todd, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, and twice with Cooper -- all of whom failed to ask Biden about her public claim.
"I think it's shocking that this much time has passed and that he is an actual nominee for president and they're not asking the questions," Reade told Fox News. "He's been on 'Anderson Cooper' at least twice where he was not asked."
" 'I guess my question is, if this were Donald Trump, would they treat it the same way? If this were Brett Kavanaugh, did they treat it the same way?" Reade said. 
" 'In other words, it's politics and political agenda playing a role in objective reporting and asking the question."
"Reade believes that the news anchors who have interviewed Biden "don't want to ask him" about her assault allegation." . . .

You know, there are college groups that like Kim more than they do the current president of the United States.


Kim Jong Un 'cannot stand up by himself or walk properly', North Korean defector claims amid rumours the dictator is dead or seriously ill
. . . "'I'm not quite sure whether he really had some surgery or whatever, but one thing is clear... he cannot stand up by himself or walk properly,' said Thae, a former North Korean diplomat who was elected to the South's parliament earlier this month.
"Seoul and Washington have played down rumours that Kim is gravely ill or dead, but Thae "said only the supreme leader's family and closest aides would know the truth." . . .
. . . "North Korea claims it has no coronavirus cases, but has cancelled some large events and imposed quarantine measures to head off an outbreak" . . . And Iran has no gays.

Q&A on the Wuhan Virus

Ann Coulter


"As you can well imagine, my mailbox has been overflowing with questions about the coronavirus from precisely ZERO readers. So I decided to write my own questions. I know this is what you would be asking if you were not standing in line, outside, 6 feet apart, to purchase a quart of milk." . . .
"What do you think of the media’s coverage of the Wuhan virus? . . .
"It’s like a nonstop “War of the Worlds” broadcast, which in 1938 panicked more than a million Americans into believing Martians had landed in New Jersey, sending people fleeing to the mountains, loading their shotguns and barricading their homes. And that was a single radio broadcast!
"Today we have nearly all of media — which I notice are doing fantastically well during the crisis — terrifying the public about an apparently indestructible, omnipresent virus." . . .
The shutdown is airport security for the whole country. Nineteen Muslim immigrants flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and suddenly little old ladies from Oklahoma had to be goosed at airports. We have to be safe!   A horrible Chinese virus sweeps the planet, which is devastating to older people but virtually harmless to the young — and the entire country has to be shut down. We have to be safe!

The media owe Brett Kavanaugh an apology. Where do he and his family go to get their reputation back?

At this point, there is insufficient evidence to say Biden is guilty. But there is abundant evidence that the news media are guilty of an appalling double standard. Considering their unwillingness to apply their standards to Biden, they owe Kavanaugh an apology.
Washington Examiner  "Without a shred of evidence that Brett Kavanaugh had ever even met Christine Blasey Ford, the news media decided the then-Supreme Court nominee was guilty of an unconscionable sexual assault four decades ago. Kavanaugh went overnight from being understood to be a consummate legal star, women’s advocate, and faithful family man, to being depicted as a sleazy drunkard and would-be rapist.
"Now, with the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, facing an accusation of sexual assault, the media are demanding that an accusation against a leading public figure should be supported by far more evidence.
"By any objective standard, the accusation from former Senate staffer Tara Reade that Biden sexually assaulted her is stronger than Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh. This does not mean Biden is guilty and should be disqualified. But it does highlight the grave injustice done to Kavanaugh.
Hollywood tries to destroy
 Kavanaugh
"Ford did not tell anyone her story until nearly 30 years later, in a private therapy session. Her story changed a lot over time — from the number of people at the party where the attack allegedly took place, to the year it occurred. None of the people Ford said were there could recall the party, and even her best friend at the time, Leland Keyser, said she did not have “any confidence” in the story. To this day, there is no evidence Kavanaugh and Ford ever met.
"In contrast, it has been confirmed that Reade was a member of Biden's staff in 1993, at the time she claims he pushed her against a wall and penetrated her with his fingers. Several people have said Reade told them at the time of the incident or within a few years of it. In an interview, Reade said she told her mother (now deceased) about the incident at the time and that her mother called Larry King Live anonymously to mention it." . . .
'I believe Joe Biden': Stacey Abrams says alleged sexual assault of Tara Reade 'did not happen'  "Liberals like Abrams hated Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process for being accused of something with less evidence than what Biden is facing.
"To answer for that, Abrams said on CNN, "I believe then and I believe now that women deserve to be heard, and too often, they are not." Yes, I'm sure that's a lot of comfort to women who simply want to be heard and don't necessarily need action taken.
"To excuse that, Abrams said that "what was happening to Christine Blasey Ford is that there was no investigation."
"That's untrue. Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing was delayed four times for a seemingly endless series of investigations by both the Senate and the FBI. That's to say nothing of all the digging into Kavanaugh's high school and college years done by the New Yorker, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
"Maybe Abrams should call for an FBI investigation into Reade's claims.
"What more did Abrams need? It apparently wouldn't have required a neighbor to come forward confirming Ford's account.
"Abrams doesn't care about #MeToo or about women or about sexual assault. She cares about being Biden's running mate." . . .

Biden Needs A Running Mate Who’ll Offset His, You Know, The Thing

Issues & Insights


     "Former Vice President Joe Biden is looking for a running mate for the November election. He’s getting plenty of suggestions. But just about anyone will improve his chances as long as the selection is more mentally capable than he is.
     "There’s no shortage of advice for the Democrat. CNN has listed “The Top 10 women Joe Biden might pick as vice president.” A media favorite is, of course, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren. At least one cable host has campaigned for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. CBS reports that Biden is “challenged to pick a black woman.” Biden himself has said he’d pick Michelle Obama “in a heartbeat.”
     "Two things, though, we know for sure: One, Biden pledged to pick a woman. Two, he needs someone who can make up for his dismal campaign performances, in which he has the look of someone suffering from dementia and appears to be in sharp decline.
     "A little more than a month ago, we noted he had failed “his first attempt to look presdential.” In a speech streamed live from his home in Delaware, his delivery “was leaden.”
     “ 'He seemed tired,” we said. “He slurred his words.
     “ 'Worse, he repeatedly stumbled in his remarks, despite reading them from a teleprompter.”
     "The livestream was lowlighted by a string of words that made no sense.
     " 'And uh, in addition to that, in addition to that, we have to make sure that we, uh, are in a position, that we are, we. Let me go to the second thing.”
     "Earlier in March, Biden tried to recite a passage from the Declaration of Independence. But he lost his way. It came out thusly:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created by – you know, you know, the thing.”

From the party that adores Hillary and Bill Clinton and calls Ted "Chappaquiddick" Kennedy "the lion of the senate" comes Joe Biden

Biden's Neil Kinnock incident back in 1988 should have told us there was something not normal about the man's thinking processes even then. TD

Joe Biden: Animal, Vegetable, or Mineral?  
"I know what you're thinking.  He's an animal, obviously.  He threw a young staffer up against a cold marble wall in an isolated chamber of the Capitol's labyrinthine corridors and reached under her skirt.  When she struggled to free herself from the senator and managed to wriggle away, he angrily pointed a finger in her face and said accusingly and with a "tight" voice, "You're nothing to me.  You're nothing!" before leaving her disheveled and confused up against the wall and walking away.  What a monster!  What an animal!" . . .

The Tara Reade allegations interrupt the fraud of Joe Biden’s campaign momentum. Plus a few items from hither and yon.
She’s miffed that her story didn’t make the rounds when there were 20 other candidates in the race. The guess here is none of that would have mattered. That party nominated Hillary Clinton, after all; it’s very clear that today’s Democrats don’t believe scandalous behavior is disqualifying in a presidential candidate. Sexual assault, corruption, treason, spirit cooking, Satanism — there is no limit to what’s acceptable so long as the basic political sacraments of wealth redistribution, abortion on demand, and obeisance to Beijing in matters of trade and culture are observed.
Biden's sexual assault problem gets worse, and he seems more senile than ever
. . . "The nightmare reached Stephen King proportions yesterday, when two women who knew Reade in the mid-1990s, not long after the alleged assault, reported that Reade had told them about the assault.  While the fact that she told them shortly after she left Biden's office does not prove that he attacked her, it certainly proves that she's not creating the story out of whole cloth today for some nefarious purpose.  By contrast, Christine Blasey Ford, a pro-abortion fanatic, first started telling the story about Brett Kavanaugh when he was touted as a possible Supreme Court nominee during the Bush presidency, decades after the event had allegedly happened." . . .
Michelle Goldberg, a New York Times writer known for using different standards for Biden and Kavanaugh, says the new evidence is a "nightmare" — not because a woman suffered at Biden's hands, but because it hurts Biden's chances at the White House:. . .
